Russian forces launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at Kyiv late Wednesday and into early Thursday, striking several districts of the Ukrainian capital, damaging a children’s hospital and residential buildings, and triggering fires, city officials said. Ukraine’s Air Force warned shortly before midnight that ballistic missiles were heading toward Kyiv from the north. It subsequently reported multiple additional missiles approaching the capital, including through the Sumy, Chernihiv and Poltava regions.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. “Explosions in the capital. Kyiv is under ballistic attack,” Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on Telegram, urging residents to remain in shelters. The first reported impacts were in the Sviatoshynskyi and Darnytskyi districts. Klitschko said a strike hit an area of non-residential development in Sviatoshynskyi, while non-residential buildings were burning in Darnytskyi. He warned at the time that more missiles were still heading toward the city. In the Solomianskyi district, debris fell near a five-story residential building, blowing out windows and starting a fire, according to the mayor. Emergency crews were dispatched to the site. Klitschko later said a children’s hospital in the same district had been damaged, with windows shattered and vehicles burning on the hospital grounds. “People are, according to preliminary information, blocked in a shelter” in Solomianskyi, Klitschko said, adding that emergency services were heading to the scene. Warehouses were also burning in Sviatoshynskyi.
